For Scrolling Shooter Fans

Why? It's not like the graphics improve that much, and it's always going to cost more on PS4. All it has over the Vita version is 4-player coop and a Japanese-only digital artbook.
If you can find people that want to play DariusBurst Chronicle Saviours with you, I'm extremely happy for you. As always, I only have my sister, and we only played it once or, at most, twice.
Sorry for getting angry over you not buying a game, but I want as many people to play DBCS as possible. I wanted to bring a cracked version of it at school, considering a lot of people liked Darius Gaiden, but it needs Visual C++ installed :(

Mamorukun (sic) Curse was on sale this weekend (US Store), so yesterday I decided to buy it. It was either that or a PSX Disney game, I only had ~$2.40.
Do you know Pocky and Rocky (huh, it's supposed to be a KiKi KaiKai sequel) for the SNES? Well, it's that, but with more bullets and moe AF (the main character is a shota, though, not a loli. Yes, that person on the "cover" on PSN is a boy). Branching paths, optional harder versions of bosses to fight, free choice of the stage order, a Chronicle-esque (from DBCS) mode, it's plenty fun.
And the music is composed by Yousuke Yasui the same person who composed Eschatos's amazing soundtrack, and it shows. FM synth greatness, right here.

Plus I don't intend to juggle memory cards or pay the crazy prices for a larger card, so this leaves me 800 mb's free for something Vita specific that catches my eye in the future. And after buying several things recently on PSN, I just didn't want to spend the money so soon if I had any excuses.

I have absolutely no idea how I forgot that you wanted to play it with your arcade stick. It was literally three posts above.
Luckily it's on sale relatively often. Moreso on Steam. The only place where they also discount the DLCs even though I asked them to do the same on PSN on Twitter and they answered with a like! Gaaaah!

Man, did its price drop harder than... Than... Whatever.
Did you watch the first two stages? Because everyone agrees that the first two (or three?) stages are boring AF. Including the developers, who call them a "tutorial". After that, it picks up.
And the better you play, the harder it gets.

I know, it's still an excessively low price for a game that was released a few months ago.
I guess they realized pricing a shmup with little to no content at $69 (or 59, or whatever), in a world where DBCS's $50 on PC is "insane", was stupid.

But not only do I not have a Xbox One as of yet, but I'd of also had to renew my long expired Xbox Live subscription since all of the good sales on the Xbox marketplace these days are for gold subscribers only. Just not worth the expense when videos left me less than enthusiastic.

If that roadblock hadn't been present, I'd of likely grabbed it just like I did with TxK when Atari was threatening Jeff Minter, back before I bought a PSTV to play it on. But I figure that if they're this desperate, it won't be the last time that it will be dirt cheap.

And who knows, maybe it will even join Raiden IV in making the jump much later on to Sony's platform, where everything else that I'd like to use an arcade stick with is already available.

Actually, I think I'd of been out of luck even if I had tried to buy it. I can't buy Xbox One content from my Xbox 360, I believe. And the last I heard, you can't use points cards with their PC storefront.

A lot of Xbox One fans that don't trust MS with their credit card data discovered that back when backwards compatible Xbox 360 content could only be bought from a 360 or the PC storefront, before MS fixed it recently with direct access to the 360 store from a XB1.

And since I'm not about to trust Sony or Microsoft with that information with their various security issues, the FIFA scammers, and Microsoft enabling auto renew behind my back years ago, I don't think I'd of had a way to buy it.

No, it's not.
They could've made a complete collection, instead they're taking an 823 yen game and selling it for 13,000. I couldn't care less about 7 CDs, or an artbook, or superplays of games I can not play on the console they're selling this for.
I'm incredibly butthurt, if you couldn't tell.

That's definitely quite a lot of money for what's basically one arcade game, a music collection (at least most of which has been released before), some videos, and an art book. And if you think about it, a Blu-ray disc containing a single 1986 arcade game is a whole lot of unused disc space. :)

This is news to me, but DariusBurst Chronicle Saviours is getting a PS4 physical release at the end of March. There's also a limited edition: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/C16A-123 . Includes some Silver Hawk Burst figures, in the 2P through 4P colors.

This thread has been asleep for a while, and I don't have time to write much right now, but I thought I'd pop in and report that I played through Xevious 3D/G (via the Xevious 3D/G+ PS1 download, on my PS3) a few days ago. The game only gives you 2 credits in reserve if you play it normally, but I found the cheat code for opening it up to free play (holding L2, select 3D/G from the compilation's menu by banging away at the O button as fast as you can, until the game is completely done loading). I'm really not very good at it--the best I've been able to do in Normal difficulty, with the default 3 lives (can be set to 1, 2, or 5 as well), is to make it partway through Stage 2 on the initial credit--so it took around 25 credits to punch through to the end. Fun game, though, a slick polygon-graphics take on Xevious. However, not masterpiece class; it's no G-Darius or Gradius V.

Somehow, my high score from single-credit play was set in a 3-lives game, over 500K points. My best 5-lives single-credit score is only over 400K.

Raiden V on sale for $7.50 on the Xbox One. Too bad I can't make XB1 purchases from my 360, just in case I could put that to use someday (The PC storefront would let me, but I don't trust MS with my credit card information and points cards can only be used to make purchases from a console).
